Rotary Bending
|
|
Rotary Bending is accomplished by bending the pipe or tube on a fixed die set machined to fit the exact outside diameter. A Mandrel is inserted inside the pipe or tube to prevent collapse during the bending process. Rotary Bends can be produced up to 180 degrees maximum bend angle. Note the bend...more

Roll Bending
|
|
The dimensions listed below all reference the centerline of the bend, they could all be inside or outside also, but not mixed. Minimum tangent lengths required are: 8" each end up through 2" pipe size (2.38" O.D.), and 18" each end for material larger than 2" pipe. The arc length is limited by the...more

Induction Bending
|
|
Induction Bending is accomplished by heating the material and forcing the bend to a preset radius. Since no special tooling is required, induction bending is a precise and cost-effective method of custom bending pipe or tube for architectural, industrial, commercial and specialty applications in...more

Sweeps
|
|
At Wagner, we can produce sweeping rail returns -- Sweeps -- to your specifications. These sweeps greatly reduce the time spent by fabricators in the field while providing the quality look of a true sweeping ell. Such sweeping ells are recommended by ICC/ANSI A117.1 which the ADA was based on,...more

Rolling a Helix
|
|
In a true helix, the material is twisted. Roll bending operates only in one plane and therefore Wagner cannot actually roll a helical bend. However, we have found that on larger centerline radii -- 15' or above -- we can calculate a radius bend that will lay flat on the floor but that can be tilted...more

Radius vs. Diameter
|
|
Bend radii and diameters will refer to either the inside or center line of a bend. There is often confusion between radius versus diameter. Note in the diagram below that the diameter is two times the radius. Therefore a 180º bend on a 7" center line radius would yield a 14" center line diameter...more

|
Supply the dimensions with these standard bend configurations for pricing. Wagner can bend most pipe schedules and tube gauges. Please contact Wagner with your special requirements. For custom work, quotes will be based on the tolerances chart on each drawing. If decimals are used, we will work to...more
